IR and Raman Spectra Investigation of Contamination on Uranium Surface After Manufacture

The residual coolant on the surface of uranium after manufacture is inevitable and it will be effective on the corrosion of uranium. IR and Raman spectra were used to investigate the contamination on the uranium surface in this study. The results show that Raman spectrum and infrared spectrum can distinguish the contamination species and determine the amount of contamination. The results also show that the distribution of contamination is not uniform.
